Small subdivisions would not be able to build roads that meet that requirement, she said.
“Private streets are a problem ultimately,” Mrs. Young said. She said a bank will not make a loan for building a house to be served by a private street unless there is a maintenance agreement.
The planners assigned the job of drafting a revision that would allow private streets only in cases where public streets could not be created to a “drafting committee” that consists of Col. Willis.
The planners adjourned when they got to the section on “cul do sacs.”

Mrs. Parrish said “cul do sacs” would probably have to be allowed in the ordinance because the highway department won’t take over a street unless is has a place to turn around a school bus or snow removal equipment.
The planners will continue with this issue at their regular meeting on Monday, Oct. 22.
